I think Schurrle is a very good buy, offering certain abilities that no one else in the squad can. And he's quite cheap, all things considered. That said, if we don't sort out the MC and ST holes it's a ridiculous waste.

José Mourinho Welcome Back!!!!!!

Haha, awesome!

 

[Filipower]

That's awesome indeed. Redknapp's assessment with Lampard being so young was almost weirdly spot on!

I know prices have become so inflated that 22m euros doesnt seem like a lot of money, but it is.

Some are saying KDB might me on his way to Dortmund permanently now we have Schurrle, if that happens I will be pissed off, I really wanted to see him become a starter in blue.

And what is the point of Marko Marin? Can we shoot him?

 

[Arnau]

Mourinho said he want to see them training before taking this kind of decisions. People like Essien, Luiz, Marin and Torres will get his chance.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I am still hopeful we can exchange Torres, Benitez likes him so may take him in part for Cavani. I think he will come good in another environment.

Essien is Mourinho's boy, but Marin is just a waste of space. Luiz should be starting every game.

 

[Arnau]

I see another Kaka case in Torres, pre-retired football player (for top level football) with huge wages that no one want to efford and he would rather not play and lose money.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

That is what I am fearful of, that's why I was hoping someone the likes him such as Benitez or Atletico might save us. Apparently we still value him at 30m which is pretty baffling, dont know if it is to be believed but papers said Benitez was willing to knock 20m off the Cavani price tag for him but we demanded 30, which is just insane.

 

[Arnau]

Selling Torres for 0,2€ and save up his salary it would be good for Chelsea. He has bigger wages than Lampard!

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Exactly, I think Roman just wants to save the embarrassment of everyone knowing for certain is has flushed 50m down the pisser

 

[Arnau]

I think you should play the world cup card and make him accept a good sportive option to play minutes and being called up by Del Bosque.

 

[Arnau]

 

[Filipower]

I prefer Torres over Mourinho's previous two strikers.

 

[Mandieta6]

If I'm not mistaken, if we gave Torres away for free, with the saved wages we could afford a 25m signing on 100k wages.

I wkuldn't expect anything for Torres, but if we get his wages off the books I'll e happy.

 

[Arnau]

There's no Cristiano this time... lets see what Mou can make out of Lukaku. He likes to play with a #9 capable to play with the back to the goal (Drogba, Ibrahimovic, Benzema...)

 

[Mus]

And of Demba?

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Cavani.

 

[chygry]

From what I've read Demba Ba is not in Mourinho's plans and he's planning to sell him, although I might be wrong.
